Gina blushed, finding the couch so comfy that part of her never wanted to get up. "Hey. I figured....with those longer legs you...could keep...up with me easily." She said, huffing a bit as she tried to catch her breath. Looking up she tried to remember why the name sounded familiar, but it was so hard to think even away from that room. "Any chance you can check the plaque on that now?" She asked Glenn.

Glenn let out a bit of a sigh, then heaved himself back up once again. "Yeah...just give me a moment." He said as he got to his feet. He glanced over to the large portrait, and headed over to it. He could see the large plaque at the bottom of the frame, and as he got closer, he spotted a family name.
"Prosperio? You ever heard of that, Gina?" Glenn asked as he glanced back at her.

"Prosperio?" Gina said as she thought about it. "It does sound familiar but I don't know...Wait...Hugo Prosperio...Oh no, we're there?!" She said in a panic as she got up from the couch.

"What? Hugo?" Glenn asked as he turned around. "You know this place, then? These people?" He asked, looking a bit confused.

"Yes, but it means if we don't want to be stuck like this we need to find them or their staff." She said worriedly. "This house is a magical house that can change you in any way. That's why those doors were labeled like they were."

"Huh...I guess...that makes sense?" Glenn said, looking impossibly more confused. "I mean, I don't suppose anything natural could do what it did to us." He admitted. "But that family, do you know them...like, personally?"

"No, I don't know them personally. I've never even met them. My supervisor on the other hand knows them. I'd call for help if my phone had any kind of signal."

"Supervisor?" Glenn asked, cocking his head. "What, are you some sort of detective? A journalist?"

"Informant would be a good answer. We gather information on interesting things." She said, not sure she could tell much more than that. "Hugo and his magical transformansion were one such thing. From what I know the hallways and rooms can change, making the place an almost literal maze."

Glenn gave a suspicious squint at Gina's explanation, but didn't press it further.
"Guess we're lucky we were able to just turn around, then." He grunted.

"Yeah, but if we don't lose the weight here, we'll be stuck with it for good." Gina said as she headed out of the foyer. "We need to find a staff member or someone."

"F-for good? What happened to the old fashioned way?" Glenn asked, sounding concerned as he followed along with Gina as she went off again.

"The old fashioned way would require a lot of dieting and 3 times the exercise to lose weight...At least that's what the reports I read said. Don't know if it was ever tested, and I'm not about to volunteer. Are you?" She asked, getting winded fast as she tried to hurry down the hall.

Glenn simply gulped in response as he followed along. He wasn't one for exercise to begin with, clearly.
"No, but...how the hell do you know all of this? I feel like there's something you aren't telling me." He grunted, his own breath going quickly as well.

"You just need to trust me, alright?" She said before hearing a door open down the hallway.
